About this property

Peaceful Historic 3 Bedroom hideaway, Walkable to Calgary's Greatest Attractions

The Historical Cinnamon House is peaceful & quiet while being just a ten-minute walk to the Calgary Stampede grounds, the Saddledome, Calgary Zoo and the trendy shopping district of Inglewood. Originally built in 1912 as a CN Rail crew house and then fully renovated in 2008 , this 1452sqft Edwardian two-story home has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and all the modern conveniences. It boasts an amazing location in the heart of Ramsay with many adventures at your doorstep.

The second half of the duplex is occupied by the Host family.

The space
The cozy living room has a bay window with a great view of evening skies. The open concept floorplan connects the dining room to the kitchen and half bath on the south side of the property.

The original staircase leads upstairs to three bedrooms, full bathroom, and full bathroom for the master bedroom. The master bedroom with king-size bed and private bathroom are on the north end of the home. The middle bedroom has a king bed and east-facing window. The south side bedroom also has a luxurious king-sized bed. At the south end of the hallway is a full bathroom with bathtub and shower.

*Other things to note*

The Original staircase is lovely, but some may find that it is a challenge to go up & down the 14 steps.

There is no Backyard access as we are building a garage in the back and it is currently considered a construction zone, Work will be halted/minimized during your stay.

Ramsay and Inglewood are the first settlements in Calgary in the early 1900’s with many historical homes surrounding The Cinnamon house.

Along the nearby rivers there are many walking/biking trails

Parking is entirely free on the street out front of the house.

Bus #17 stops about every 30 min just two blocks to the west on spiller Street

Concert With Family
This is a beautifully restored, historical home. It is full of tastefully positioned period antiques. An interesting full history of the home is provided. It has two furnaces so the main floor remained cozy, it was -30 during our stay, but we kept the sleeping area a little cooler as we prefer. Very comfy beds, all the expected amenities, I really have no complaints. Very enjoyable stay. Will stay again.

We can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. This 1912 home has been beautifully restored and is located in a very walkable residential neighborhood close to shops, restaurants, and parks. Excellent communication with our host’s Veronica and Dale who made us feel very welcome.

Great stay in Calgary close to Stampede
We had a great stay at the Ramsay house (or Cinnamon House). The description of the house was very accurate and the house is located in a safe neighourhood at walking distance from the Stampede. The hosts were very helpful with suggesting local activities and had provided us with fruit, snacks and other food and drinks upon our arrival. We certainly recommend this house.

Best business trip ever
I was in Calgary for a business trip, but who doesn’t want to tag along on a work trip to this place?? My parents, husband, and kiddo all came along and we had a blast! There was plenty for them to do while I was at the convention center for most of the week and Dale and Veronica were *amazing* Seriously, I couldn’t have asked for better hosts! They were incredibly gracious and accommodating and kind. If you’re reading this, run, don’t walk! BOOK THIS PLACE TODAY!!!

This was the most amazing home. Everything was perfect. Fully stocked with all high end utensils, pots, dishes, everything! Beautiful home! And Dale and Veronica are the most gracious hosts. They left a fridge with everything we would need to enjoy our first evening and morning. I would definitely stay here again!

Spectacular Character Property
This updated duplex is over 100 years old, but has retained its charm. It's very spacious, and in a very characterful neighbourhood that is easily accessed off Calgary's Trail system. Hosts Dale and Veronica were so hospitable and generous, with many lovely welcoming touches and all you could need for a stay. Communication was very prompt, and they were happy to engage. They accommodated us very well, as our family Thanksgiving dinner was at the property. It handled us with ease. This is a Rolls-Royce of a vrbo, and the chauffeurs are first-class, too! Fred

Hosting is rewarding as we are able see others enjoy our beautiful city & neighbourhood as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the heritage and laidback vibe of Ramsay while having close proximity to downtown and the main attractions such as the Zoo, Telus Spark, Saddle dome, river pathways, bird sanctuary, shopping in Inglewood and the stampede events to name a few.

What makes this property unique

One of Calgary oldest Side by Side houses(if not the oldest) and close proximity to the Boutique stores of Inglewood, the zoo, the Saddle dome and so much more, and while boasting a modern feel in a peaceful 1500sqft heritage home with three luxurious King Beds.
